Music Projects...

My own "solo" recording projects could be considered being in a ambient/prog-rock/industrial/experimental/electronic/goth-metal/EBM/surf kind of style...or not.

In 2007 I released my first solo ambient album Dream Tower Blueprints performed entirely on software-processed guitar and Chapman Stick, and has had tracks from it played on NPR’s Star's End and Hearts of Space radio shows, as well as the 24/7 all-ambient online radio station Stillstream.Com.

My second solo album Obscura was released in June 2010 and features a more dark, mysterious feel this time performed on mostly hardware-processed guitar, 8-string bass and Chapman Stick.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I record as one half of the "epic post-apocalyptic psychedelic art rock" band Christus & The Cosmonaughts (and its instrumental space-rock "alter-ego", The Prayer Capsule) on guitars, Chapman Stick, basses and occasional drum programming.

The amazing Scot Solida is the other half, singing and playing everything else.

Our most recent album "From Atop This Hill" is available on Beta-lactam Ring Records.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'm the host of "Nightscaping", a weekly radio show on Stillstream.com.

The show focuses on the more dark and mysterious corners of the ambient music universe, and I often also do live-in-the-studio improv solo performances as well as "spinning the ambient hits".

(every Sunday night starting at 6:30pm Eastern / 5:30pm Central).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Though technically not an "official band member", I also do quite a bit of recording with the very cool German synth-pop band elmodic.

I played the guitar solo on the single "Shallow Man" from their excellent 2005 debut album "Unsound Fantasy", and then played all 6- and 12-string guitars on their follow-up 2008 album "Monoism" on the A Different Drum label.
